Printable Memory Game

Matching cards in nine themes. Picture + picture for little ones, picture + word for early readers.

How to use it

Memory (Concentration) builds visual memory and attention, and kids can play it from age 3. The picture–word version quietly turns it into reading practice: to make a match, the child has to read the word.

Start with 6 pairs face up as a matching game, then turn them over. Print on card stock or glue the page to cereal-box cardboard so the pictures don't show through.
